Lights that you can control from a smartphone might seem
gimmicky, but these are a great way to not only create a mood, but to also help
simulate daylight if you're stuck indoors during the dreary winter months.

ligt from your device and create the right ambience for your every
moments. The world's most connected
light. TechnoGranny aside for you guys,
Straight out of a James Bond movie and you just might be able to control the
light from outside your door. Try it.

you'll want more. These things are highly addictive!
